Crawford allowed five runs on eight hits and struck out five over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Saturday. He did not walk a batter.

Crawford has avoided issuing a walk in four of his last five outings, but it didn't lead to success in this start. He gave up home runs to Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and Oswaldo Cabrera the first time through the order. Crawford has given up five or more earned runs in each of his last two starts after a streak of six games where he permitted no more than three earned runs. He's at a 3.60 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 117:29 K:BB through 122.1 innings over 21 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Rangers.

Civale allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Saturday.

Civale gave up a pair of runs in the second frame but otherwise kept the Marlins off the scoreboard. He departed with a one-run lead in the sixth inning but was prevented from picking up a win as a result of the Brewers' bullpen imploding in the seventh. Civale has now gone 18 straight outings since his last victory, and he has posted a 5.74 ERA over 91 frames during that span.

Stroman allowed five runs (three earned) on nine hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over 3.1 innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Red Sox.

Stroman has failed to complete five innings in three of his last five starts, and he's lost the two outings in that span. The Red Sox did their damage against him in the first two innings, and Stroman exited at 60 pitches (34 strikes) after recording just 10 outs. For the season, he's carrying a 3.64 ERA, but that's up from 3.29 at the end of June. He's added a 1.35 WHIP and 83:48 K:BB through 113.2 innings over 21 starts. The veteran right-hander is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Blue Jays.

Meyer allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against Milwaukee on Saturday.

Meyer pitched well in his initial stint in the majors this season, collecting two wins and posting a 2.12 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 17 innings over three starts back in April. The right-hander's return to Miami's rotation Saturday was thus big news in fantasy, but the 25-year-old endured his worst big-league start of the campaign and failed to complete five innings for the first time. Meyer should nonetheless stick in the Marlins' injury-depleted rotation, and he's tentatively slated to make his next start in Atlanta.

Feltner allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Saturday.

Feltner pitched well, allowing a single run on a solo home run to Matt Chapman. He otherwise worked in and out of trouble in the no-decision. Feltner has looked good as of late, having tossed three quality starts in his last four outings. The 27-year-old's ERA currently sits at 4.99, dipping below 5.00 for the first time since his last win April 12.

Fedde (7-4) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Fedde wasn't sharp, throwing 47 of 79 pitches for strikes in his shortest start of the season. He ran into trouble the second time through the order, as the Mariners put up all three runs on his line in the fourth inning. It was the first time over four starts in July he allowed more than two runs. The right-hander has been a pleasant surprise this year with a 3.11 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 108:34 K:BB through 121.2 innings over 21 starts. His career high for innings in a year in North America is 138.1 frames back in 2021, but he threw 180.1 innings in the KBO last year, so fatigue down the stretch shouldn't be an issue. Fedde is a likely trade candidate and this may have been his last start in a White Sox uniform.

Lugo (12-5) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing six runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 6.1 innings.

Lugo fell behind 2-0 on a Seiya Suzuki homer in the first inning but carried a 4-3 lead into the seventh. However, the veteran right-hander allowed Chicago's first three batters to reach base in that frame, and they all came around to score on a Patrick Wisdom grand slam following Lugo's departure. The six earned runs were a season-high mark for Lugo, who had pitched his first career complete game in his previous start. Saturday's poor outing pushed Lugo's season ERA up from 2.38 to 2.66.

Snell recorded a career-high 15 strikeouts while giving up two hits two walks over six scoreless innings in a no-decision Saturday in the Giants' 4-1 win over the Rockies in Game 1 of a doubleheader.

The 15 strikeouts were one shy of the franchise record, and it was the most in a single game by a Giants pitcher since Tim Lincecum in 2009. In spite of the incredible performance, Snell was still denied his first win of the season, as he departed the game with a 1-0 lead before reliever Ryan Walker gave up the tying run to the Rockies in the top of the seventh inning. After a rough start to his tenure with the Giants, Snell has started to resemble the Cy Young Award-winning pitcher he was with the Padres in 2023. Over his four July starts, Snell has posted an 0.75 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB in 24 innings. He's the first Giants pitcher since 1911 to record at least 30 strikeouts while allowing fewer than 10 hits in a four-game stretch.

Imanaga allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Saturday.

Imanaga yielded a solo homer to Hunter Renfroe in the second inning but entered the sixth with a three-run lead. However, he couldn't get out of that frame, as the Royals got to him for three hits, including a Bobby Witt run-scoring double. Another run crossed the plate after Imanaga's departure, and he had a streak of four straight quality starts snapped. The rookie right-hander carries a 2.95 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 111:17 K:BB along with an 8-2 record through 19 appearances covering 109.2 innings on the campaign.

Ryan (6-7) allowed three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings Saturday, taking the loss versus the Tigers.

Ryan took a 2-1 lead into the sixth inning but couldn't hold it as he allowed the go-ahead runs to score and ended up being tagged with the loss. Ryan has allowed three or more runs in four straight starts, but despite the low win total, he continues to make up for it with solid strikeout numbers. The 28-year-old has five or more strikeouts in nine straight starts, and his 138 punchouts this season are tied for ninth most in MLB.
